Generally, the woman I help to care for her 2 year old is pretty good about getting back to a text. She has occasionally not replied to a couple emails, but on the whole.. yes. Just recently (we also use facebook sometimes to communicate) I sent a FB message thanking her for something, and showing interest in her new pics, but she did not reply/ignored. Last night I sent an email apologizing about something I said to the 2 year old that completely was jumbled and wanted her to know (instead of saying 'thank you ' to him/her as I left recently, I said 'say thank you' .. to him.) She did not reply at all this morning or evening. Now it could be that she's busy as she has a new baby, but both messages now ignored leave me feeling low.. I care for her child in every way and teach him, show respect to her, etc. I just let things like this go, but I wonder about what she cares or if she cares how I am perceiving this too- would you say anything? I wouldn't even if someone here says to, lol, I am too shy, but I just don't know whether to continue with someone who does not care to reply to me (as I do her.. ) ...
